Figure 6. A model for Parkin recruitment to the damaged mitochondria.

Figure 6

The integrity of the mitochondria is sensed and transduced to Parkin by two sequential processes, that is the escape from membrane potential-dependent degradation and autophosphorylation of PINK1 at Ser228/Ser402. Both steps are essential for optimized Parkin recruitment and activation.
